An unedited take on L&O fans discussing the show and there is a lot of laughter. I love it, sounds like a conversation with friends. I would like more Criminal Intent focused episodes in the future. Love Vincent D'Onofrio!

law and order svu should have been canceled a lot time ago because it's gotten extremely stale but it isn't pro-police propaganda. also If they actually believe that it as a whole should be thrown down the memory hole and never taked about again. they should should also cancel this podcast.
